Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said that with Emmanuel Ogbah questionable to play this weekend, the Dolphins could elevate Melvin Ingram III from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

After being with Miami last season, Ingram was not with the team until a couple of weeks ago when he was signed to the practice squad. He'll likely be on standby if Ogbah is sidelined.

The addition of Ingram continues a massive roster overhaul this offseason for the Dolphins. Ingram, who’s a 3-time pro bowler, played 6 games with the Steelers in 2021 before being traded to the Chiefs. Ingram only recorded one sack during the regular season with the Chiefs, but he elevated his play in the playoffs, recording two sacks and three quarterback hits in three postseason games. Ingram brings a veteran presence to an up-and-coming roster that hopes to compete with the powerhouse that is the Buffalo Bills for the AFC East Championship.

The Miami Dolphins appear to be considering adding Ingram, a three time pro bowler, to what’s been an above league average defense the past two seasons. Ingram played 6 games with the Steelers in 2021 before being traded to the Chiefs. Ingram only recorded one sack during the regular season with the Chiefs, but he stepped up his production in the playoffs, recording two sacks and three quarterback hits in three postseason games. Miami has had a busy off-season which has included hiring Yale alumni and offensive guru Mike McDaniel as their new head coach, trading for superstar WR Tyreek Hill, signing ESPN’s top ranked free agent in OT Terron Armstead, and signing Cedrick Wilson, Chase Edmonds, and Raheem Mostert. The potential addition of Ingram would continue Miami’s off-season mission of reshaping a roster that hopes to compete with the powerhouse Buffalo Bills in the AFC East for 2022 and beyond.

Veteran pass-rusher Melvin Ingram III asked for a trade from the Steelers in the past month due to a lack of playing time. Now he's been traded to the Kansas City Chiefs for a 6th round draft pick.

Fantasy Impact

Ingram brings a high-quality rotational pass rusher to the Cheifs who have been looking for defensive talent. At a very low price, Ingram looks to be an instant contributor to the Chiefs front 7.

Melvin Ingram, who has been battling a groin injury, has been ruled out for Week 8.

Fantasy Impact

Ingram's playing time had been trending down in recent weeks and he had expressed unhappiness with his role. He has just 10 tackles and one sack on the year, so his absence won't have much of an impact on the Pittsburgh defense.
